The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) system was first discovered 30 years ago. Since that time, knowledge of the diverse physiological functions of AMPK has grown rapidly and continues to evolve. Most recently, the observation that spontaneously occurring genetic mutations in the gamma regulatory subunits of AMPK give rise to a skeletal and cardiac muscle disease emphasizes the critical impo...
AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is one of the key players in maintaining intracellular homoeostasis. AMPK is well known as an energy sensor and can be activated by increased intracellular AMP levels. Generally, the activation of AMPK turns on catabolic pathways that generate ATP, while inhibiting cell proliferation and biosynthetic processes that consume ATP. In recent years, intensive inve...
The deacetylase SIRT1 regulates multiple biological processes including cellular metabolism and aging. Importantly, SIRT1 can also inactivate the p53 tumor suppressor via deacetylation, suggesting a role in oncogenesis. Recently, SIRT1 was shown to be released from its endogenous inhibitor DBC1 by a process requiring AMPK and the phosphorylation of SIRT1 by yet undefined kinase(s). Here we prov...
Both the formation of long-term memory (LTM) and dendritic spine growth that serves as a physical basis for the long-term storage of information require de novo protein synthesis. Memory formation also critically depends on transcription. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a transcriptional regulator that has emerged as a major energy sensor that maintains cellular energ...
RATIONALE The degradation of proteins by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is required for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in the heart. An important regulator of metabolic homeostasis is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK activation inhibits protein synthesis and activates autophagy, but whether AMPK plays a role in regulating protein breakdown through the UPS in the heart i...
The molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of prostate cancer are poorly understood. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a serine-threonine kinase that is activated in response to the hypoxic conditions found in human prostate cancers. In response to energy depletion, AMPK activation promotes metabolic changes to maintain cell proliferation and survival. Here, we rep...
Our previous studies have shown that quercetin inhibits Cox-2 and Bcl-2 expressions, and induces human leukemia HL-60 cell apoptosis. In order to investigate the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) on quercetin-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells, we used flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis. The expressions of LKB1, phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), and Cox-2 protein were detected in HL-60...
BACKGROUND AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a stress-activated protein kinase that works as a metabolic sensor of cellular ATP levels. Here, we investigated whether AMPK signaling has a role in the regulation of the angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced proliferation signal in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS AND RESULTS Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-ribofuranoside (AIC...
AMPK is a key regulator of fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It has been postulated that defects in AMPK signaling could be responsible for some of the metabolic abnormalities of type 2 diabetes. In this study, we examined whether insulin-resistant obese Zucker rats have abnormalities in the AMPK pathway. We compared AMPK and ACC phosphorylation and the protein content of the upstream AMPK kinas...
The energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is crucial for energy homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that AMPK is involved in various energy-intensive pathological processes such as inflammation and apoptosis. The physiological functions of hepatic AMPK have been well studied, but the pathological significance of AMPK in liver disorders remains largely unknown. In the present s...
